Abstract

Traditional batch style building simulation models are designed around the capabilities of computers dating from 10 or 15 years ago. Programs of this type, including Berkeley Solar Group's CALPAS3, have a number of limitations imposed by this traditional organization, the most significant one being that all information must be reduced to text form prior to input. Current generation microcomputers offer inexpensive graphic capabilities and can serve as dedicated workstations. They can thus serve as the basis for an entirely new program structure which accepts at least some input in non-text form. CALPAS4, the successor to CALPAS3 now under development, is one such implementation. Examples of CALPAS4 graphics are shown in the paper. Development of this new type of program, which includes an extensive database of geometric building information, points out the need for standardized means for representing and communicating building data. Other segments of the design industry, such as CADD, use similar but incompatible databases; lack of standardization will retard the application of building energy simulation.
